Brett.
Brett was a little confused and angrily growled,
“What are you doing?”
But as if they didn’t care about his ranting, they continued to point their guns at him.
At this point, Byron lit a cigarette while glancing coldly at Brett and said,
“Give up resistance. You’re so old and confused. No wonder you taught a bitch like Isidra.”
Byron’s words were extremely insulting and pissed Brett off.
“What the hell did you do? These men are the bodyguards of the Wolf family. Why would they join forces with you against me?”
Byron laughed.
“Because I’ve been displeased with you guys for a long time.”
Vaughn dared to have thoughts like that about Cora, and there was no way he was going to sit back and do nothing.
This was why he’d been laying the groundwork before.
Stupid Isidra pissed him off, so he’d handled her too.
As Brett found it hard to believe, the butler, who was looking for someone to press the trending, rushed up.
“Mr. Brett Wolf, the people say they can’t help us. Things are too heated to put away now.”
Brett was furious.
“How could they? They’re doing what they were told to do!”
They must have been bribed by Byron as long ago as these bodyguards were, and that was why they stood by at a time like this.
But no matter what Brett said, he was still escorted away by the bodyguards in the end.
Once everything was taken care of, Byron returned to the helicopter.
As soon as he got on, he saw Cora crying.
“Why are you crying? Are you uncomfortable?”
Byron didn’t panic at all when faced with so many guns pointed at his head. But he panicked at the way
Cora was crying.
Cora threw herself uncontrollably into the man’s arms, tugging at his clothing and crying hysterically.
“Asshole, I’m scared to death.”
Byron’s voice was hoarse as he held Cora close.
“You know, I have you and Martin now. Our wedding is still coming up. How could I possibly risk my life with this old man? I came over here because I was prepared for anything.”
Byron still buried his whole face in the crook of Cora’s neck and whispered again,
“You don’t even know how devastated I was when I found out that the one in the house wasn’t you and felt like your life was being threatened.”
Cora was taken aback, not realizing that Isidra was even bold enough to come into the house.
“What did she do when she went to our house?”
“Aside from trying to have intimate behavior with me, she pretended to cook and prepare a gift for
Martin.”
Cora shook again.
“Isidra cooked and bought Martin a gift?”
It seemed that Isidra wanted to replace her completely.
“But hasn’t it ever occurred to her that sooner or later, the lies are going to come out?”
Cora still couldn’t figure out Isidra’s thought process even now.
Byron said bluntly,
“She’s probably thinking that I can’t be bothered to get her killed now on account of me being with her.”
Speaking of which, Byron couldn’t help but ask again,
“Don’t you care if she touches me?”
Not only did Cora’s expression freeze, but Carter in the same helicopter froze as well.
Byron’s face sank instantly when Cora was slow to speak. Cora hadn’t asked that point. It was hard for him to make up his mind to ask it, and Cora was still avoiding it. It made Byron feel as if Cora didn’t care about it at all, as if anyone who touched him could. Byron’s gloom made the air inside the helicopter phantom into ice cream zapping everyone.
Carter couldn’t help but wrap his shirt around him. But then Cora smiled. She didn’t snicker but laughed openly. Her smile was beautiful, but Byron felt more like he was mocking himself, and his mood got worse.
“What are you laughing at? You think anyone can touch me?”
Byron said, even looking out of the helicopter in chagrin. If he hadn’t heard it himself, Carter couldn’t believe that the awe??nspiring Byron was so childish. But he also knew very well that if Byron’s mood didn’t turn for the better today, no one would be able to have a good time. So Carter even tried to cast a quiet look at Cora, hoping she’d coax the man into a rage. But before he could convey his meaning to Cora, he heard Cora say,
“I know you. If she did touch you, it would have been her ashes you brought tonight.”
Cora finished, offering to hug Byron’s arm.
“What are you mad about? We should get home. Martin’s going to be waiting impatiently.”
Byron was still very reluctant to bother Cora, wanting to let Cora know that he could not be easily angered. But listening to her soft voice and feeling her warmth coming from his arm, Byron felt again that it didn’t matter so much. So he quickly volunteered to put his arm around Cora’s shoulders and smiled.
“Okay, let’s go home!”
Carter saw the whole thing from Byron’s anger to his relief and just thought the couple was very sweet…
As Byron’s helicopter lifted off to fly to New York, Isidra had awe??nspiring Byron was so childish. But he also knew very well that if Byron’s mood didn’t turn for the better today, no one would be able to have a good time. So Carter even tried to cast a quiet look at Cora, hoping she’d coax the man into a rage. But before he could convey his meaning to Cora, he heard Cora say,

As Byron’s helicopter lifted off to fly to New York, Isidra had been taken away overnight for investigation. Brett and Eleanor were very troubled by the situation. Reporters swarmed the door of the mansion, trying to get a first??and account. The safest person was only Vaughn, who was recuperating. The man watched the live stream on his cell phone related to Isidra’s arrest with an expressionless face. The reporter on the livestream was also describing how Isidra was facing at least fifteen years in prison once she was convicted of the various charges, and that Vaughn could be facing arrest as well. The accompanying doctor pushed his way in and realized Vaughn was watching this and rushed forward to stop him.
“You’re not fit to look at these right now, and it will cause your condition to deteriorate faster.”
The doctor even tried to just turn off the video playing on Vaughn’s phone but was stopped by Vaughn.
“Watching or not watching just determines how many more days I can live or how fewer days I can live.”
Vaughn’s emotions were stable so far. The doctors could only advise him to get well, and everything else could start over. But then the driver returned fromdropping off Cora and handed Vaughn several prescriptions.
“Dr. Lane wrote these in the car. She said that as long as you take these pills in order, you shouldn’t have any major problems. She also asked me to pass your body’s various items to her every day so that she can adjust the dosage of the medicine in time.”
The driver just wanted to ask for Vaughn’s permission to facilitate his daily data transmission to Cora. But Vaughn took the prescriptions and laughed sadly.
“A person like me doesn’t deserve you to be so kind to me.”
As soon as the words left his mouth, Vaughn coughed violently several times before spewing out a mouthful of blood. All of them panicked, desperately calling out his name. But Vaughn slowly closed his eyes as if he didn’t hear them.
As soon as Cora and Byron returned to the Hansen Mansion in New York, they found the family gathered there, guarding Martin and waiting for them to return. William and Sara rushed over at the first sign of the online news.
Seeing Cora walk through the front door, Sara rushed up.
“Cora, it’s a good thing you’re okay. Otherwise, I don’t know what to do.”
Sara’s eyes were swollen, but she still kept holding Cora tightly, then checked her up and down. She made sure Cora had no trauma, and her hanging heart fell back into place…
“I’m fine. Don’t cry. There will be blessings after a great disaster! I’ll be waiting to enjoy my happiness from now on.”
Cora gently wiped Sara’s tears and soothed her. The others also expressed their concern. Amid a crowd, Martin rushed up and jumped into Cora’s arms.
“Mom…”
Cora half??quatted down and took him in her arms.
“Martin, Mom knows you’re brave. But Dad was right to make you stay home and wait for us.
You want to protect Mom, and Mom’s sure you’ll do that when you’re older.”
On the way back, Byron had told Cora about Martin wanting to be part of the rescue as well. So Cora knew Martin’s uneasiness, knew that he was afraid that his Mom would think he wasn’t brave enough. She comforted Martin from that point. At this time, Byron promised Martin,
“When you grow up a little more, Dad will teach you some martial arts. In that way, you’ll be able to start protecting your mom later.”
With Cora and Byron’s comfort, Martin finally smiled. The other family members also laughed happily after seeing Martin smile. They celebrated the aftermath of the robbery with smiles and wished the family of three a safe and happy life in the future…
Because Isidra was in jail, the news that Vaughn was seriously ill could no longer be hidden. So at noon on this day, Vaughn held a press conference to announce his resignation from his current position. The news hit the Internet. Cora, who was treating patients in the medical clinic at the time, overheard the patients discussing the news.
“Vaughn resigned?”
Cora said in disbelief.
Cora couldn’t believe it. Vaughn got to where he was not only because of his efforts but also because of the efforts of several generations of his family.
“Yes, presumably because of a serious illness. He looked pale at the press conference.”
The patients also showed Cora the screenshot they just took on the news. Cora took the phone and saw the screenshot of Vaughn’s dark face and pale lips, which was a sign that he was going to die. Cora panicked and took out her cell phone to call Vaughn. But Vaughn didn’t answer, and Cora could only look for the phone number of Vaughn’s driver that was left earlier. The patients saw that Cora was so concerned about Vaughn’s health and advised,
“Dr. Lane, Vaughn has a sister like that, and he’s not a good person. Dr. Lane, there’s no need for you to waste your mind for someone like that.”
“Yeah, Dr. Lane, you’re too nice!
That kind of man should be left to his destruction…”
But Cora said,
“Those behaviors were personal to Isidra, and Vaughn didn’t have to pay for all of her stupidity.”
Cora added,
“Even though Vaughn is at fault, I consider him to be my patient, just like all of you. And since he is my patient, I will naturally do everything to save his life…”
